More than I expected!!!
after Covid pandemic we really wanted to go as far as possible.. A friend suggested me why not Africa.. at the beginning we were a bit unsure because we never been there. The entire journey was more than I expected. Our Tour Guide “James “ was amazing he showed me and my family a lot things!! Maasai Mara was one of my favourite..!
Do not forget to ask for Amboselli game we loved it.
the price was Ok and worth because we have seen a lot in such a short time and very very friendly guide !!!!!
thank you James for everything!

It was amazing! Fabulous!
The accommodations were clean and very cosy. James was a perfect host, the communication went smooth and friendly, he was really polite to us and he offered us all extras that we wanted. The trips to the Maasai and Mara Game Reserve was fenomenal. The service was amazing, thank you james.

Amazing photographic journey. A wonderful and professional tour company.
After careful research and having talked to a person who previously did a safari organized with Peter, I decided this was the company I wanted to use. I did a messenger video chat with Peter and explained my interest in photography. He organized a 3 week trip in Kenya and Tanzania taking into account my wishes. It was all spectacular from start to finish. Our driver Davido went above and beyond to accommodate our small group of 3. He made sure we saw all the animals up close.
A couple things to keep in mind. A very good camera will definitely make the experience totally awesome.
The roads between parks and in the parks are at times an adventure.
The lodges that were booked were all clean , safe and relaxing.
If you sleep with a cpap, be sure to point that out in advance. Places will make arrangements for that. Otherwise in some places the power might not function overnight.
Africa is not like North America or Europe. Don't compare , just enjoy it. Please feel free to contact me for any additional information. Brian

Very professional tour guide John Letara and good drive.
All the hotels were great, each with its own style. I liked the hotels located in the park the most. The prices were ok, beer cost 3 USD. I recommend staying in park hotels for 2 days. Bring a good zoom photo lens and binoculars. So that you can watch the animals from the balcony.

Clean, good car at the highest level.
Clean, good car at the highest level. Tried to find and show all the animals. A true professional who loves his job. Stay at the park hotel for 2 days. It's great to watch the animals from the pool.

A fantastic experience
This 6 day Safari thru Kenya would not be possible without the professional help of Paul, he was wonderful, he always responded quickly to every email and whatApp text. Our driver Thomas was amazing , be sure to request him he will go out of his way to make all your dreams of this trip come true.. Africa Starpal Safari is the only company I would recommend in kenya and we will use them if we do Tanzania or Uganda! just do it!

5-day Safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions
After visiting Namibia a few years ago (self-drive), we wanted to return to Africa and realized we would need an organized tour with a guide/driver.
After research and reading reviews we choose Tanzania as destination as Parks are relatively close and did not want to spend too many days on the road.
Read good reviews and comments on TripAdvisor and other sites regarding Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.
From the initial contact they were very helpful and quick to respond, flexible to accommodate our wishes., with excellent pricing and conditions!
We did a private 5-day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
Our driver and guide, Eli, was phenomenal!! He is an excellent wild life spotter and
knew exactly where to take us for better views and photos, always in good spirit and very pleasant and easygoing guy!
We had good accommodations that varied from a real (temporary) Kati-kati tented camp in Serengeti ((fantastic experience / should have stayed for 2 nights instead of 1!) and very luxurious hotel as the Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge (Wellworth Collection).
Food was very good and we had great dinners, breakfasts and quite diverse lunchboxes for underway.
The driving from Lake Burunge-Tarangire to Serengeti was extremely long and took us 10 hours on rough, dusty and sometimes scary roads. We would have appreciated a bit more information regarding this.
Fortunately, Eli is an extremely experienced driver, always with a lovely smile on his face and he tried to accommodate all our wishes regarding travel times, stops for coffee (wonderful coffee in Tanzania!), photos, etc…
The only 3 details that could be improved would be:
1) better/newer seats in the 4x4 vehicle (at least ours)
2) information about distances and expected driving times to get to each destination.
3) better information regarding Lake Manyara, famous for its thousands of pink flamingos. However, since some time there are no flamingos anymore.
We would have preferred to stay an extra night in Serengeti (considering the long drive to get there, one night is too short) and would have skipped Lake Manyara.
We highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions (Paul Justine, General Manager) for their prompt responses, experience and professionalism, help with Covid testing, etc.
We highly recommend visiting Tanzania! Beautiful places and thousands of animals! We did see the Big 5 and much more!

Reliable Company, easy communication, nice driver, best price
From the first contact until the last day, i had a good and precise communication with the company. All my questions before and after booking have been responded by Paul immediately. The price was very good, compared to other safari companies. We have been picked up at Mombassa airport and started a wonderful three day safari in Tsavo West and Amboseli, ending in our hotel at Diani Beach. Our driver Cleavers was a careful driver and a nice person, who explained us a lot in the parks and answered all our questions. We felt very well and secure, hope to come back.
